fonts in Star Office (RESOLVED) [kind of]

I posted a problem on this list roghly 1.5 weeks ago about missing fonts in Star Office. To recap, I am running XF86 4.2.0 compiled from source on a testing box. Star office was missing many fonts. I was given some advice to add fonts using spadmin. I tried that with no results. I have now used
